I won this on eBay about 2 years ago and have never been able to find out who made it. Solid spruce top, solid rosewood back and sides, mahogany neck and nut, maple bridge. I had to replace the original tuners because they were shot but the buttons where shaped like Kluson Keystones. The only thing I know for sure about this uke is that is was made in Japan, possibly in the 50's. The only reason I know it's Japanese made is because when I got this one another one exactly like her was also up for auction on eBay and had a Made In Japan sticker inside. In retrospect I should have bought that one too since this is one of my keeper ukes. Anyone recognize her?
